GD Sedan / GC & GD Coupe HID Conversion. Amazing.

So after working out im going to need to put a bigger alternator in for my landing lights, I worked out that I really don't want to put any more stress on my little 1.6 so I went with converting to halogen first.
Turns out I had a bunch of spare conversion 5.75 inch headlights but only had one high beam so I just installed 4 x H4 and used only the high beam filament of the inner lights. They don't fit into the adjuster plates snug so had to just tilt them both to the left a bit to accommodate.
Then I had an idea to convert all 4 to high and low beam. Obviously this would draw a heap of power so I decided I could go HID to conserve power.
Anyway today I installed them and it's amazing. Truly great light.
The ballasts run off a relay from the battery triggered from the existing headlight wiring. So I snipped and ended all but my far left wire and joined 2 harnesses together on the relay trigger and connected that. 2 harnesses powering 4 ballasts and in turn giving me 4 high and 4 low beam lights!
I highly recommend doing this. Even if you just convert to 4 H4 halogen with a relay setup if your alternator is big enough.
